OV10 In case you weren't aware, your embedded images in posts #42 and #43 are showing as broken images.

Thanx Aros ……..am heading back to reedit all the pics

[OV10]

Finished the pic edits....everything look ok at your end

[Bob Vincent]

NO...…...Uses the same power/prop setup from the FL B-24. See my build review starting at posts #42.

Thanks! For some odd reason I can't see your pics? I can see every one else's just not yours.

[OV10]

I'll look into that...…….

I have two 4S 5000s, will I be good to go?

See my build review starting at post#42. You should be good to go. I used 2 serial pairs of 2S 5000mAh.

Thanks, OV10, I read you 5X5 and off to make an order!

Like every other EPO model. Painting over the decals will be no problem. Just 1 extra step of primer

James, you are correct it is easy to paint over the factory applied decals, however, it has been my experience that even with an additional coat of primer or paint, the outline of the factory decals are still obvious. And, removing them often damages the "skin" of the foam, which also is visible after painting.

I assume you guys have some research that indicates most buyers don't want to have to apply decals. But it sure would be nice if unlettered was an option on your models. The number of posts here on Hobby Squawk, and on other RC forums, would seem to show custom painting and lettering are a growing aspect of the ARF market.

With that little bit of whining complete, yeah, I'm gettin' one of these!

Certain models, we have done it for (AL37 being the most recent). But yes. Unpainted/decaled planes don't sell nearly as much as the painted/decaled ones. I've painted my L-39 and would need a magnifying glass to make out the old decals.

OV10 Nice job reviewing the Bronco Charlie. It's been a long wait for it to come in. Alpha said on the Youtube live that it was 30 months in work.

It is gorgeous. Pre-order is done, this one is coming home. Thanks guys 👍🏼

Finally getting me a Bronco. Now we need to start designing gear doors, cockpit parts and exhausts to 3d print.

You won't have to do an exhaust, it has pretty accurate scale ones.

Counter rotating props?
C'mon guys... it's a turboprop

First off, the OV-10A "Bronco" was, is, will be my all-time favorite airplane. I flew the full scale (Air Force) in Vietnam as a Forward Air Controller (just under 1000 hours). LOVED flying the airplane.
Now, here is my "beefs": NO gear doors! BIG shortcoming for me. And, bad for me, it comes in bile Marine Green! It would require a complete re-do (like I did on my Pro Fly OV..
